You may have a wrongful termination case if you were fired for an illegal reason, such as discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, or exercising a legal right. Even in at-will employment states, employers cannot terminate employees for unlawful reasons. The best way to know is to speak with an experienced employment attorney who can review the facts of your situation confidentially.
Before speaking with HR or signing any documents, pause. HR’s role is to protect the company, not you. You should gather relevant documents, save written communications, and avoid making statements or signing agreements that could limit your legal rights. Speaking with an employment attorney first can help you understand your options and avoid costly mistakes.

An experienced employment attorney can review your agreement and determine whether you may still have legal claims or leverage to renegotiate better terms.
